Anyone know when the Kirkland Oakville merlot comes out? I bought several of the 2013 and felt it was a great qpr.
and get more back for using your credit card.
Tulsa - all 19.99/bottle
2015 Kirkland Signature Barolo - bought several bottles. Think this is the first Barolo from Kirkland. Tried and I think it is very good buy. Seems like pretty pure Nebbiolo with little to no oak that I can detect. Will admit I have had pretty limited Barolo/Barbaresco tasting experience
2017 Kirkland Signature Oakville Cab -

Does anyone here shop at the NOLA Costco?
Don Melchor 2009 for $38? Seems like a great deal
2009? Weird! I wonder what the provenance is though - looks like 2017 is the current release. Also not sure if it’s really my style these days either, but a heck of a deal if there’s nothing wrong with it regardless.
Frequently, the Kirkland Signature wines from outside the U.S. include some clue on the bottle as to the producer. (For example, their Chianti Classico Riserva states that it is “bottled by” Villa Cafaggio, their Champagne is bottled by Janisson, etc.). Can you tell by looking at the small print on the bottle where it may have been produced, or who “bottled it” for them? If it’s even decent Nebbiolo, that’s a good deal. My worry would be that it’s too heavily oaked, a common problem with Kirkland Signature wines, although there are plenty of exceptions.
I bought 5, hard to pass up that deal.
What location?
Bottom of front label says Italia - Serralunga d’Alba. Back says bottled by ICQRF CN/7874, imported by Ethica Wines, Stamford, CT 14% alcohol. Bottle has raised letters “Albeisa”. Ah, this might be more of a clue, the paper ring at the foil cap says “Simone Tablino”.
FWIW - Top of the front label says Suckling rated it 92
Think the Kirkland Barolo might be associated with Fontanafredda. Sounds like Simone Tablino is a lab tech there and when I did a search for CN/7874 it brought up Fontanafredda’s website. Makes sense as Costco seems to often carry Fontanfredda Barolo.
Tigard Oregon. Near Portland, 94361 is the costco product id
ThAnks!
More confirmation on Kirkland Barolo- has a pic of a building on front and in very small letters says “Villa Reale in Serralunga”. Googled that and it also appears to be associated with Fontanafredda.
My daughter goes to Tulane and shops there regularly (she’s 21 and can buy wine). I stop in when I’m in town - pretty terrible selection any time I’ve been there.
Good sleuthing! I enjoy Fontanafredda as an inexpensive, consistent, slightly over-oaked, but early/easy drinking Barolo. I’ll be scouring my local Costco stores hoping this one shows up. If it’s essentially the same juice as their Serralunga Barolo bottling, that’s a great price!
